- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) Laboratory located in Buzzards Bay, MA intends to issue a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) award to Horiba Instruments, Inc. located in Irvine, CA for Horiba brand ELISA Test Kits under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). The Horiba brand ELISA Test Kits are used to quantify Dinotefuran pesticide residue in plant samples that are collected from trees treated to control the Asian Longhorned beetle, spotted lantern fly and the Emerald ash borer. The testing is part of on-going research studies into treatment efficacy. The Horiba brand ELISA test kits are the only commercially available kits using the ELISA method technology that are able to detect the Dinotefuran pesticide. The ELISA method is far cheaper than traditional analytical methods (HPLC, GC/MS), and this indicates that the pricing for future purchases of this product is fair and reasonable. The Catalog Number for the Horiba brand ELISA test kit for Dinotefuran is 3200604544. A 5-year BPA will be awarded to establish firm-fixed pricing and ordering volume discounts for the Horiba brand ELISA Test Kits. The anticipated maximum BPA value over 5 years is not-to-exceed $75,000.00. No formal solicitation will be issued. This notice is for informational purposes only. However, all interested parties may contact the Contracting Officer listed below. Anyone interested in responding to this requirement must be able to provide compelling evidence that they can provide equivalent Test Kits in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Responses must be submitted electronically, via email, to michael.j.chiodi@aphis.usda.gov. The deadline for the submittal of responses is Wednesday, February 28, 2018, 12:00 noon central time. Point of contact: Michael Chiodi, Contracting Officer, Telephone: (612) 336-3203, E-mail: michael.j.chiodi@aphis.usda.gov.
